History

Historical Context

MLB first staged a regular-season game at the Field of Dreams site on August 12, 2021, when the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 9–8 on an 8,000-seat temporary diamond built for the 1989 film. The league returned in 2022 and scheduled a Twins-Phillies matchup for August 13, 2026, to stream on Netflix, extending the novelty-driven, neutral-site tradition.
